Anyone use Bob Drake wheel or master cylinders (42-48)? Any other brands you like?

Be very careful with wheel cylinders. Most of the Chinese made ones I've seen have the little hole drilled in the wrong place. Better to rebuild USA ones than use them. If you can find new USA ones, go for it.

Almost all , if not all cylinders are made in China. Probably depends on which company over there made them. All the Napa stuff I bought was made in China.

You may want to send your old cylinders to Brake & Equipment warehouse and have them redone in stainless steel. Here's their link.
